Unexpected Discovery

Volunteers from Homeward Bound Cat Adoptions were stunned when they found a small crate outside their adoption center. Inside, a frightened tabby cat huddled on a soaked towel. Despite her fear, she purred gently as the volunteers tended to her needs and provided comfort.

Next to the crate was a heartbreaking handwritten note. It read, “My mom can’t care for me. Please take care of me. I promise I’m a good cat!” The message deeply touched the volunteers, who immediately took the cat in, knowing they had no other choice.

They examined the cat and found she was in good health but also very pregnant. Ellen Richter, a seasoned caregiver, stepped up to foster the expectant mother, who was named Liberty Belle after being rescued around the 4th of July.

Liberty quickly adapted to her new surroundings, showing her gratitude by brushing against Ellen’s legs. She soon found comfort on a soft blanket, falling into a restful sleep that she desperately needed.

New Beginnings

Liberty settled in comfortably, her round belly on display as she rolled around. Her purring grew louder, and she kneaded her paws contentedly while lying in her cozy bed. She enjoyed the all-you-can-eat buffet, a spacious box, and Ellen’s loving attention.

Just two days ago, Ellen noticed Liberty was ready to give birth. With Ellen by her side, Liberty gave birth to six healthy kittens. “It’s been a long evening, but I’m thankful she’s done. This will be the last litter she will have to go through,” Ellen shared.

Liberty immediately embraced her role as a mother, feeding her six kittens and keeping them clean. Ellen brought her food in bed, and Liberty devoured two full plates in one sitting, never leaving her babies’ side.

Liberty is very protective of her kittens, allowing no one to touch them but enjoying a gentle petting on her back. She looks serene and content, gazing at her sleeping kittens with a soothing rumble in her purr.

Thanks to the volunteers, Liberty Belle and her kittens are well cared for. The kittens will soon open their eyes, ready to explore the world around them with boundless curiosity. Liberty will no longer have to worry about raising another litter.
